Color scheme
The brand color and its companions; why these.
Scheme B of three, chosen at the gate (SC-002). Every value is a token in tokens.css.
B · Selected
Atelier Green & Brass
The deep green of a workshop bench and a leather watch box, brass fittings, an ivory dial.
Why this one
- Watchmaking heritage: it belongs to the typical item, a pre-owned watch, without borrowing any maison’s colors.
- Premium and calm, as the brief asks (SC-013): green and ivory read as trust; brass is kept for what is proven.
- “Passed” is teal, not green, so a status never reads as the brand.
- In dark, the main button turns ivory and the green moves into the soft tints, so contrast holds.

The alternatives
Shown at the gate beside B and not chosen; the Decisions page keeps the reasons.
A — Noir & Gilt
AlternativeNear-black ink, warm paper, a hairline of gilt: the language of the great maisons. Nothing competes with the photograph; the gold appears only where something is proven.
C — Bordeaux & Cream
AlternativeThe warmth of a velvet-lined case and a wax seal: deep bordeaux, cream, old gold. The most expressive of the three — confident and fashion-leaning.
- The brand fill marks one thing per screen: its main action, or what is selected.
- The photograph of the piece is the most colorful thing on a screen; the interface stays in ivory, white and green.
- Danger, warning, success and info speak only of a state; pending, failed and inconclusive never look positive.
- Brass is never text under 18 px and never an action.
